Oh I love how diverse this book is already.
-
TW: racism, racial slurs
-
Jamie has unflinching honestly when she’s her self (see pages 9, 13)
-
UGGGHHH high school boys are AWFUL. Don’t EVER take me back.
-
I love Jamie’s sense of self and her voice. It’s perfect and she has this unequivocal dedication to humor, and it’s humor that isn’t dedicated to putting people down.
-
Sheehan is 💯💯 like she’s so on top of things.
-
And her father is frustrating in his traditions. But tbh, his thinking (other than the sexism) is pretty much in line with mine.
-
I can tell already this email guy is Timothy. Their banter is ADORKABLE.
-
If I wasn’t sure Timothy was John before, I’m ABSOLUTELY sure now that they’ve been in detention together.
-
Jamie and Bilal hanging out with each other is THE BEST.
-
Sometimes it’s hard understand people who want to go to dances because it just never appealed to me. I’m not a very confident person when it comes to waving my hands haphazardly so dances were just meh. Thinking back to other experiences like when my mom didn’t let me go to a friend’s house and my other two friends went together bring me back though.
- 7/10—This review wasn’t very long but this really was such a great book! It has so much heart and so much to do with being comfortable with who you are and who your family is. I loved Jamie’s arc and how she came to love herself for who she is and not what she thought everyone wanted her to be.
